Yeah I imagine the Chinese are very, very interested in seeing how their equipment in the Pakistani military performs.

Edit: Though totally agree we'll not have much of a picture as the general public.
Let's bomb Russia!

Major attack by Pakistan across several regions of India just now. Looks to be ever escalating. Might need to rename the thread to war soon.

Yes, 'Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war'.

The Pakistan response with ballistic missiles to Indian attacks on three airfields.

there calling it 'Operation Bunyan Marsoos.' a koranic verse about something to do with lead or a unified Islamic reaction?

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Lot's of video of explosions and such online, unconfirmed as of now

CNN and Reuters are reporting that Pakistan has targeted three airbases in an "eye for eye" (yes this is the quote from the Pakistani military) strike in reprisal for India's three airbase strikes earlier.

While Pakistan deserves to have a good old spanking for not only making the Taliban possible in their madrassas and withholding information from their ally, the US of fucking A, I sincerely, from my superficial knowledge of Islam and the varieties of it, sincerely doubt that there are many fellow believers who would stand up for Pakistan.

Pakistan gaining nukes was a catastrophe. India, too, really. It's not like the Hindu nationalism preached by Mohdi is like Nehru's, this is more in "Indiana Jones" territory with some bloodthirsty prince cheering.

I believe the UK probably has more Indian than Pakistani immigrants of the 3rd or 4th generation. Norway mostly accepted Pakistanis, and that's when the neo-Nazis came about. This conflict is not local, but global, just as the one between Turkey and the Kurds, the Azeri against Armenians, Greeks against Turks, there are diasporas of them all and it will spill onto the streets even in small towns like where I live.

See how I gently jumped above the fence on the Israel-Arab conflict there?  :lol:

Lots of crazy claims of a massive air battle above the Indian city of Srinagar.

Hopefully not true.

India is beginning to mobolize its reserves.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/may/10/pakistan-says-three-air-bases-attacked-by-indian-missiles-live-updates

QuoteIndia starts large mobilisation of extra troops to border, says military

Hannah Ellis-Petersen

The Indian military says it has actively begun large-scale mobilisation of additional forces to the border, including activating its reserve territorial army (TA), to ensure full operational strength of the army in the event of any further conflict escalation.

In a notification on Friday amid the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, the Indian ministry of defence announced the activation of 14 of 32 infantry battalions of the TA for deployment across the country until February 2028.

Each TA battalion has about 750 personnel.

Hopefully it's just precautionary. According to the Guardian, India does not have the dominance that you would expect due to a sizable build up of their forces on the Chinese border.

QuoteLooking now at India and Pakistan's military might along the contested Kashmir border, the Indian army is about double the size of Pakistan's but the two sides are "fairly evenly balanced", says Sushant Singh, an author and political science lecturer at Yale who spent two decades in the Indian army.

There are about 1.2 million active Indian personnel compared with about 650,000 for Pakistan, Hannah Ellis-Petersen and Shah Meer Baloch report. Their dispatch continues:

Singh emphasised that, since 2020, India had deployed huge amounts of military personnel and resources towards its mountainous border with China, after the India-China border crisis swiftly escalated. India has also had issues with the modernisation of its armed forces and faced a systematic recruitment problem, leading to a shortfall of soldiers.

"Despite its size, India doesn't have the kind of dominance where you would expect India to easily ride roughshod over Pakistan or declare a quick win," said Singh.

The question of who would have the edge in any confrontation is also a question of equipment. In recent years, India has been shifting away from its reliance on Russian weapons to buying western munitions, including elite French Rafale jet planes and F-16 jets from the US. Pakistan now buys 80% of its military arsenal from China.

According to reports, as tensions with India rose last month, China rushed 100 more of its powerful new PL-15 missiles to Pakistan, which it usually keeps for its own inventory and does not export.

On Friday, the Pakistan army claimed it used the PL-15 missiles to bring down several Indian jets during Wednesday's strikes. Shuja Nawaz, the author of Crossed Swords and a known expert on Pakistan's military, said this showed that "China is not only helping Pakistan, but it is using it as a kind of testing ground for its weaponry against India".

If true, not good. That'll mean more retaliation.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
